Introduction of the theme “lifestyle medicine” as the foundation for educational content.

Six pillars of health highlighted by the Menopause Society:

• Mental well-being: showcasing exercise benefits and movement snacks.

• Healthy relationships: fostering community connections, meetups, and social support.
